StatsGuru Filters for Freddie Brown


Profile:

A likeable and entertaining all-rounder, and a fine captain of his county and England. Starting his career with Surrey, and part of the England tour party in 1932-33, he later led Northamptonshire to great effect. Freddie Brown was a hard hitting middle order batsman, noted for his free swinging straight drives, and a versatile bowler. He started as a leg break and googly bowler, but in his later years had much success with medium pace cutters. His career was interrupted by World War 2 (he spent several years in a POW camp), and he captained England in Australia in 1950-51, where somewhat unluckily they suffered a 4-1 defeat. He remained involved with cricket after retirement, as a selector, chairman of the MCC, the Cricket Council and English schools Cricket Association (Dave Liverman, 1998).
